The Central Regional TAFE community stood together to support a future free from violence by taking part in Western Australia’s 16 Days in WA initiative. This forms part of the global 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence movement, which focuses on challenging the behaviours, attitudes and systems that contribute to violence against women and their children.
Across our campuses, staff and students took meaningful actions to raise awareness. Orange clothing was worn on Friday 5 December, Conversation Orange events were held at our three main campuses, and a range of activities encouraged learning, participation and reflection. Each action represented a stand against family and domestic violence and a commitment to being part of the solution.
Central Regional TAFE is committed to supporting employees impacted by family and domestic violence. We recognise that personal circumstances can affect work life, and we encourage staff to reach out if support is needed. Together, we can show unity, raise awareness and help create safer futures for women and children in our communities.
We acknowledge that the themes highlighted through this initiative can be confronting. We thank our staff and students for taking part, showing support and helping spark conversations that contribute to positive change.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family violence, support is available.
